If you all knew my wife, you'd know that a new bathroom trumps jewellery hah.

I'm suspicious of this story, given your impressive LPPR (like per post ratio). Anything over 4/1 raises alarm bells. 😁

I hide my gifts in the trunk of my car in the garage- she never looks there, she’s afraid of the Sprickets

I somehow need to get my wife to read this thread without being obivous. My wife hears me talk about watches and think tunes me out 😀. Training my daughter now and got a Citizen for my birthday. Baby steps I guess. Wear the watch in great health and Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating.

Temporarily on a C&B strap till I can get the bracelet fitted. Don’t have the correct tools. But yay!



Merry Christmas everyone!

I know you have these around, it’s all you need to resize that bracelet.

Actually Xmas eve lol. She couldn’t / didn’t want to wait. So that was a surprise!
But no. I didn’t fess up. She was just as excited to give it to me as I was to receive it. I’ll probably tell her. But not right now.
She really put in the legwork to get it. Had a local AD basically track it down for her and bring it in. But not before reaching out to a handful of others.
Glad to have that 5 year warranty in case they haven’t quite got that date wheel issue figured out! Lol.

At least you got the watch. Movie romantics here will have noted the film Love Actually and Emma Thompson not receiving the gold pendant she found in husband Alan Rickman’s jacket pocket. You’d have been crushed to receive a Joni Mitchell CD…

your generosity with the bathroom notwithstanding your partner sounds like a keeper. 😀

Still can’t believe you looked in the box, never tell her you looked in the box. You never look in the box man, never…..

She cooks and cleans great too! 😁
Good lord imagine if she were to stumble across this thread. This is a safe space right? hah.
Seriously though shes the best.

No, this isn’t a safe space for sexist jokes. 😡
Although it appears you don’t really mean it…
congrats for the watch.

Of course not. And yes of course I did not mean it.
My single mother raised me better than that.
👍

And on the bracelet where it will probably spend its life...

What a fun Christmas thread! Thanks vbrad26 for sharing and for the photos.

It's OK Syrte. My wife cooks and cleans too, but then so do I.

Hah the rule at our house is that she cooks, I clean.
She doesn't want me cooking anyway...no one does lol.
Unless it is a frozen pizza.
